Quote from: carlcohrs on March 19, 2025, 05:38:37This looks like it would be right up my alley, but after playing the demo I bounced off the menu system hard.

I play with inverted y camera and couldn't seem to do that in the menu?

Then there's those sliders underneath "controls" what even are those supposed to be?

Thanks for checking out our demo!

We have updated the audio sliders in the full game with more legible labels now. The icons you refer to are supposed to indicate "ambience sfx" and "ui sfx". It was a quick and dirty solution I had to throw together shortly before launching, and did not have time to make text translations. I understand the confusion, you're not the only one to report this as being weird, but it is fixed now (in the full game).

The camera movement in SNØ is really subtle. The game is designed so that independent camera movement is not necessary for playing the game, and so it was implemented more like an afterthought, like an answer to "wouldn't it be nice if the right joystick did something too?", you know. So that's why I didn't add options for axis inversion. But I will add it to our backlog.
